Three haplotypes (haplotype 1, 2 and 3) were found in the sequential variations of the soybean pod gall midge (table 7).
The proportions of midge-affected seeds in harvested wheat were estimated at 10-15 magnification.
This resistant wheat also deterred midge oviposition, reducing egg densities by 65% compared with susceptible wheat.
Without this deterrence, the ratio of production of midges would have been 14:1 instead of 41:1 in susceptible versus resistant wheat.
The remaining galls were not dissected but kept in plastic containers (10 cm in diameter, 6 cm in depth) to rear adult midges.
Applying this technology, raspberry cane midge damage and the consequent disease problems could be controlled more adequately.
Inside some skins of dead, parasitized midge larvae, fully-fed parasitoid wasp larvae could be observed.
Occasionally, however, they will take long-continued flights, when the course is more or less direct and distinctly midge-like.
